Busting Myths About Body Fat

Body fat may be one of the most misunderstood aspects of physiology. Although it is true that “fat makes you fat,” understanding the truth about body fat can help you achieve a slimmer body in a healthy and successful way. At A New Me Weight Loss, our weight loss program focuses on burning the calories stored in your own body fat so you lose weight without feeling hungry.

There Are Different Kinds of Fat
Not all body fat is the same. There are three major types of body fat: structural, normal, and excess. Structural fat is a necessity of life—it provides cushioning and support for your organs, protecting them from injury. Normal fat is your body’s secondary fuel source. When you do not get enough calories from your food, normal fat is burned to maintain energy levels. Excess fat is the unwanted fat that contributes to obesity and its related health problems. Fat can also be broken down by color. White fat, which comprises most of the fat in the human body, doesn’t burn calories. Brown fat—of which humans have very little—can actually burn rather than store energy. Beige fat is not completely inert, offering some calorie-burning benefits.

Not All Fat Is Equally Bad
All excess fat may look unsightly, but extra fat on some parts of the body is more dangerous than others. Belly fat is the most dangerous type of fat—it has been associated with a higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Studies show that the larger your waistline, the more likely you are to die at an earlier age. Belly fat can release hormones and cause inflammation, almost as though it were an organ. It can cause you to feel tired and hungry even when your body doesn’t need food.

When you choose A New Me Weight Loss, our hCG diet will help you burn excess fat to improve health, vitality, and mobility. Are you ready to make an amazing and healthy transformation?
